Information For Parents

Who better to endorse the programme than our very own Future Leaders’ parents?…

“This has been a fantastic opportunity that she has really enjoyed; it has widened her horizons.”

“The course has given him the vision that that drumming can be part of a career, not just a hobby.”

“My son is a fairly quiet boy, not known for great enthusiasm about anything. However when we picked him up from the train station after the third session he did not stop talking for the entire hour of our journey home – it gives me a lump in my throat just thinking about it.”

“It really has made an impact, he was quite disillusioned before attending the course! You have totally inspired him! I have my happy and enthusiastic teenage boy back again – so thank you!”

“In society today our young people are put under so much pressure to perform at school/college to attain high grades in all their academic subjects, all very important to enable them to achieve in life. This is why Global Grooves is such a breath of fresh air. When a young person goes down the academic route in education, sometimes the creative side gets lost and is under developed. Global Grooves is different because that’s all you focus on, their passion”.

“I thank both the team and all the kind sponsors for giving my son the opportunity to attend this programme he leaves with true INSPIRATION that will hopefully develop into him going onto inspire others in the future. You have filled a void. My gratitude and thanks.”

For parents and guardians who may be seeking a little more confidence from knowing more about us, we warmly invite you to pick up the phone and speak to us, or even (where possible) meet us in person. Please see our ‘Team’ page to learn more about us, and read our ‘Parental FAQs’ document.

With each Future Leader’s Application for those under 16, we ask that parents/guardians send along an accompanying ‘Letter of Support‘. This signed declaration demonstrates your support for the programme and for your child for gaining such a prestigious opportunity, as well as communicating to the Global Grooves team that wherever possible and appropriate, our younger Future Leaders have support and encouragement from home whilst enjoying their year with us.
